I have read in the past that the naming of the Browns went something like this...the city wanted to name the new team the Browns after its founder, Paul Brown, but originally he rejected that notion. It was only after the city wanted to name the team the Brown Bombers after Joe Louis that he gave into a shortened version of the Browns. I have no hard evidence mind you, but that's what I've read and heard.

Wasn't Paul Brown who started the Bengals or was it the other way .
